How long will therapy take?
It's a personal process that unfolds at your pace.
Typically, clients start experiencing positive changes within 3-6 months, but your progress will be our guide. We're in this together, and we can adapt our goals as you gain insights about yourself.
Initially, I recommend weekly sessions for at least 4-6 weeks to build a strong foundation. However, the duration of therapy varies. Some clients find resolution in just a few months, while others benefit from ongoing support, especially in areas like fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, trauma, and generational healing.
Every individual is unique, and my focus is on meeting your specific needs and honoring your wishes on your path to healing.

Wondering about insurance coverage?
I'm here to help!
I'm currently in-network with Aetna. Even if your insurance isn't on this list, many companies offer partial reimbursement for out-of-network providers.
If you're not sure about your coverage, I can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. To get started, I recommend reaching out to your insurance company to ask about your out-of-network mental health services, your deductible, and their reimbursement percentages.
Let's work together to make your mental health journey as accessible and stress-free as possible.
